Previous reading studies have emphasized the importance of providing systematic, explicit, reading instruction for emergent readers. This study sought to determine the effectiveness of Reading RACES (RR), a computer program designed to deliver the repeated reading intervention utilizing culturally relevant passages. Specifically, this study examined the effects of RR on the oral reading fluency (ORF) and comprehension gains for first-grade learners in an urban setting and whether these gains would generalize to novel, generic passages. Five first-grade African American students at risk for reading failure were selected to participate in this study. Results indicated a functional relation between the use of RR and student gains in ORF and comprehension. All students who participated in this study demonstrated moderate to substantial gains on their ORF and comprehension on CR passages. Additionally, the data show that the reading generalized to novel passages and maintained even one month following intervention.
